What separates us from Russia, Japan, Cuba, etc, is not leadership!! It's our Constitution, and the reverence our people and institutions hold for it. The real danger of this man is his manifest lack of respect for the Constitution and it's limits on his power.

>>Look at the economies of countries that don't have strong, effective leadership, such as Russia, Japan, Cuba, North Korea. The US rebuilt during the 1980's and Reaganomics still rules. All those other countries above have state-run economies. The type the Dems really would love to have here. >>If you think that the President doesn't wield a lot of power, and is behind decisions that have a major impact on this country, then you don't understand the nature and power of our Executive Branch of government. The Executive is less powerful than anytime since the 1920's. Clinton lost control in 1994. Just shows that an inconsequential, corrupt president cannot derail the US economy and policies initiated 18 years ago. His main role has been to debase society and harass interns.

<<Look at the economies of countries that don't have strong, effective leadership, such as Russia, Japan, Cuba, North Korea.>> What would you consider to be strong, effective, leadership? It doesn't get much stronger or more effective than N. Korea, depending on what you (the government) are trying to accomplish. After all, it's a complete dictatorship with no hope of change. How much stronger can you get? The Japanese might differ with you in your description of their government, and I know the Cubans would. That's the problem with this type of discussion - you need to get everyone to agree on what the terms mean before you start.
